This is true. I haven't had much faith in it since they rated TM7 a three star. Wasn't it Lattimore they ranked really low as well? I can't remember.

If you mean Marcus Lattimore, he was the #1 APB and a national top 10 overall 5* prospect by both 247 and Rivals. ESPN rated him a high 4* and the #2 RB behind Michael Dyer, even though Lattimore had more total offense, rushing YPG and rushing touchdowns than Dyer in fewer games played in 2010 & 2011. But I think 2010 was one of the first years ESPN started doing recruiting ratings, and obviously they weren't very good at it....
